And then either a regular bathing suit or rashguard. She was much younger last year so we were only out for like 15-20 minutes at a time. This year I'm looking for a long sleeved rashguard because we'll be out in the backyard swimming for much longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598629 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1598629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rash guard, sunscreen and hat! But I'm pretty sure she has my skin...and I burn even with SPF 1000000. @lawbee11: Doesn't BG have the cutest swimsuits this year?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598625 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:24:15 +0000 Adira 1598625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rashguard, sunscreen, hat! Xander has very fair skin and if he's anything like his Mama, he probably burns really easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598579 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:04:44 +0000 lawbee11 1598579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Shocking, isn't it? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598573 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:01:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 1598573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Wait, YOU got something at baby Gap? What? :)</p> <p>We won't be at the beach that much, but we have a hand me down rash guard top and swim suit bottom that I plan to use, plus sun screen and a sun hat. C is fair like her daddy (not that I am so dark myself-- I wear higher SPF than DH does). I'll probably get another rash guard, depending how often we go out, so we can alternate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598454 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 06:13:28 +0000 Beyond2 1598454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rash guard. I don't like using sunscreen on me or DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598430 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 05:37:02 +0000 Smurfette 1598430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both options but only one rash guard. So I am going to get another one for when we go to the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598410 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 05:02:27 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1598410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her swimsuit has a short sleeve rash guard top. We pair that with sunscreen and a hat and sunglasses and we are good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598386 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 02:22:23 +0000 lamariniere 1598386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rash guard, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses.

I think I'll get a rash guard and try it out. She's fair (blonde hair/blue eyes), so I think she may need the protection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598208 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:38:06 +0000 MoonMoon 1598208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you guys buy cute rash guards and swim diapers?

If we're out early or late or mostly in the shade we do just a bathing suit and sunscreen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598047 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:46:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 1598047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rash guard and sunscreen plus a hat. He has fair skin, we live in FL, and we spend a lot of time by the water. It's important to me to keep him covered. I cover myself quite a big now since I spent so many weeks of my youth burned to a crisp. I burn so easily, so I tend to judge his protection on what I need at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598042 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:40:31 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1598042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have both depending on what we are doing and how long/when. Beach -rash guard, my sister's pool -swimsuit because there is a fair amount of shade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598036 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:37:25 +0000 MamaMoose 1598036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rash guard and sunscreen. Sun protection will always be more important to me than style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598014 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:13:50 +0000 pinkb 1598014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer we did regular suit and sunscreen. This year I got short sleeve 2 piece rash guards and still using sunscreen. LO is super fair like me and you can never be too safe from the Florida sun it is a killer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598012 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:12:46 +0000 hilsy85 1598012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: LO wore a long sleeved/long pants (one piece) rash guard in Mexico and he was cool as a cucumber! Ithink the trick is to buy it a bit big so it's not tight/constricting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598011 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:11:51 +0000 hilsy85 1598011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rashguard if we will be out for long periods of time, swim suit and sunscreen if it's just for a bit. There are some super cute options for long sleeved rash guards and regular swim suit bottoms for girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1598008 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 18:07:16 +0000 kml636 1598008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my lo has started having a meltdown every time i put sunscreen on her, so looks like rashguards will be all I'll use this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1597988 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 17:48:14 +0000 Silva 1597988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>rashguard and sunscreen. my mom got her a one-piece rash guard, but I think I"ll get her a two piece (long sleeved top/diaper) as well. I do have a super cute bathing suit for her, but I figure I"ll use it if we are in the baby pool early in the day or later when the sun isn't directly on her, and we're only out for a little while. I feel like I will inevitably miss something if I'm just doing sunscreen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1597978 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 17:35:54 +0000 Bao 1597978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swimsuit and sunscreen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1597976 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 17:34:53 +0000 MamaG 1597976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swimsuit and sunscreen. DD will get a little pink just from being warm, but she's got great skin. </p> <p>We probably should consider a rash guard, but it feels counter-intuitive to me (like she'd be warmer). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/rash-guard-vs-sunscreen#post-1597958 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 17:24:07 +0000 avivoca 1597958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a short-sleeved rash guard, sun hat, and sunscreen. It worked really well and kept her cool and covered. </p>
